Further authentication is necessary for fewer than 10% of your customers, who have simple options to upload an image of their ID to complete a transaction. Eliminate extensive wait times—our 24/7 live team manually verifies IDs in less than a minute, and customers never have to leave your checkout page. Those approved via photo ID are then instantly verified on any website using AgeChecker.Net. Enhanced Compliance For highly regulated industries such as vape and tobacco, alcohol, and firearms, compliance with the latest state and federal regulations is critical to good business practices. AgeChecker.Net makes it easy to stay on top of the latest changes with a flexible system that allows you to customize age verification requirements based on location and modify the verification process to fit your business’s needs. Superior Security AgeChecker.Net takes data privacy very seriously.

Images of photo IDs are deleted as soon as they are verified, ensuring your customers’ private information will not fall into the wrong hands.

Create an account at AgeChecker.Net and activate it by entering your billing information. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Integration > AgeChecker.Net In the AgeChecker.Net settings view, enter the name of your store and the API key. You can find your API key under the Websites tab of your AgeChecker.Net account dashboard. If you are using the default theme, this configuration should work. However custom themes, templates, and extensions may modify the checkout form and change the order button. Right click on the order button on your checkout page and click "Inspect Element", then right click on the element in the DOM viewer and choose "Copy > Copy Selector" to get the unique element selector for the order button. Click "Save changes" when you are finished.
